Explanation of disease test order
147FL Explanation of disease test order
A court making a disease test order must ensure that the transferor and the third party are informed of the following:
the transferor's right under section 147FP to appeal to the Supreme Court against the disease test order;
that the transferor has a right to obtain legal advice and to communicate with a lawyer;
about the purpose and effect of the order;
that force may be used to enforce the order;
that failure to comply with the order is an offence.
The court must take all reasonable steps to ensure that the explanation provided to the transferor is expressed in a language and manner that the transferor is likely to understand.
A failure by the court to comply with this section does not invalidate the disease test order.
